The National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) has solidified a significant partnership with upGrad, Asia’s largest learning, skilling, and workforce Development Company. Together, they have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to deliver high-quality higher education and skilling programs to India Youth, aiming to boost the country’s skill-ability.
India is set to transform its educational landscape by partnering with upGrad, a leading online learning platform. The partnership, signed last Friday at the NSDC office in New Delhi, will offer online programs in Emerging Technologies, Management, Law, and Digital Marketing, as well as a co-branded certification. The partnership will also provide immersive learning experiences, including industry-ready projects, bootcamps, masterclasses, live sessions, and personalized one-on-one mentorship.
The move aims to encourage students from non-metro areas and regional pockets to pursue study abroad programs, positioning India as a global talent hotspot. Commenting on the development, Ved Mani Tiwari, CEO, NSDC and MD, NSDC International said, “I am confident that the partnership will help in bridging the employment gap by improving accessibility and scalability in alignment with the industry demands, and Skill India Digital will be a powerful driver in this endeavour”.
